Are cone shaped breasts normal after a Breast Lift with Augmentation? (photos)

It is too early to make much judgement about your results after a breast lift with augmentation, but this is not unusual after a vertical/lollipop incision breast lift.  These procedures require more time to develop their long term shape.  If breasts were made to look perfect in the first week after surgery, they would likely fall with time, and you would be unhappy for the long term.Hang in there and give it time...

Thank you for your question and photos.   It is far too early to make any definitive statements about your final outcome.  It usually takes about a year until all the elements settle and scars become stable.  So far it looks like you are healing well, with a good shape.  Please follow your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon's instructions.  Please let them know of your concerns.  Together you will get through this process, hopefully with an outcome that you like.Jeffrey J.

It's not unusual for patients who undergo breast lift combined with breast augmentation to be concerned about the appearance of their breasts in the immediate post-operative period. It's virtually impossible to make aesthetic judgements regarding the size and shape of the breast when patients are only one week post-op.During this period of time, swelling, muscle spasm, inflammation and the wound healing process itself all contribute to changes in the appearance of the breasts. In most cases, it takes about 3 to 6 months before an assessment can be made about the aesthetic result.At this point in time, your pictures demonstrate cone shaped breasts with contour irregularity. Many of these findings will improve with the passage of time. It's, therefore, important to wait at least six months before considering revisional surgery.For this reason, patients need to be patient and maintain good communication with their plastic surgeon. Their surgeon should be able to reassure them and alleviate their anxiety.

Thank you for the pictures. Result looks typical for a breast with using a lollipop incision implants. You will round into your result overtime. Earl Stephenson, Jr, MD, DDS, FACS

You are very early post op and mastopexies never look like the final result in the first few weeks. Be patient. Mild asymmetries often settle out over several months. Speak to your surgeon during the post operative period. They will assure you I am certain.
